About the Artist: 
I am an Artist and Art Educator from Toronto, Ontario.&nbsp; After earning by BFA at York University and a Bachelor of Education from the University of Toronto, I decided to go on an adventure and to teach English in Japan!&nbsp; I thought I'd be away for 1 year at most.&nbsp; I completed a Masters at Goldsmiths and&nbsp;have lived in the UK since.&nbsp; I am based in Haslemere which borders three stunning counties; Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex.&nbsp; My paintings are based on memories, travel, nature and whatever takes my fancy!&nbsp;

With Painter Marianne Enhörning (Episode 49)

Talking to Artists is a weekly casual conversation where artists share their inspirations, process, challenges and business ideas to give art lovers and aspiring artists a peek behind the curtain. Your host is Kate Taylor, a full-time Canadian abstract painter, marketing entrepreneur and current Chair of the Artists’ Network – a not-for-profit committed to supporting visual artists in their business practice. Conversations are meant to capture the feeling of sitting around your kitchen table, chatting and sharing….not perfect and not scripted.
